Warranty Deed Protection
We bought a mobile home 15 yrs ago and got a notorized Warranty Deed and now that we are trying to finalize a sale of the property a deed issues arose during the title search. We have been told we will need to quiet the deed and will need to put $5000 in escrow for the lawyer. Does the Warranty Deed protect us and make the person who sold us the mobile home financially responsible and if yes, if the man is no longer alive, is his spouse, who signed the deed also, responsible to clear up the title issue? Thanks.

Bad Furnace
Can the seller of a house legally be held financially responsible for the repair of major appliances (such as a furnace) if it can be shown that said appliances were in serious disrepair before purchase of the house? My wife bought a mobile home in Portsmouth, NH from the state, who owned it due to the previous owner of the house passing away with apparently no legal heir(s). There was no mention of the fact that the furnace was in serious disrepair in any agreements that were signed by my wife, nor was there any mention of this fact in the inspector’s report. The inspector actually verbally reported to my wife, in my presence, that the furnace was in good working order, and made no mention of any defects within the inspection report. Can we bring either/both the state and/or the inspector to court in order to recoupe our financial losses (around $4,000 so far…)?

Eviction payment and terms
The park manager issued ademand for rent and a notice to quit for rent, we called him today to pay what was stated on the demand for rent and he said he wanted this months rent or he wouldn’t take the back rent. My husband called him back and told him ok and he could pick it up, now he asked how it was going to be paid, answer, a personal check, he said nope he wants a bank check, he didn’t say that in the first call and he never needed a bank check before and bank check isn’t stated in either the demand for rent or notice to quit. Do I have to do a bank check, which will cost money versus my no cost check?

NH eviction Laws
Because I was a few months late on paying off my rent, my landlord has decided to evict me a week before the lease is up. Now he gave me a notice to quit AND an eviction notice in the same day, but he has not involved to county sheriff or the courts in the eviction. Is it legal for him to do that? Can he legally evict me without any notices either from the sheriff or delivered by a sheriff?
